No you are right - there are some things that it is harder to do on a digital reader .. for instance when I'm re-reading a book I often like to just skip ahead to certain parts. With a paper book I can usually just thumb through the pages. With a digital reader you have to try some different methods such as learning to remember a key phrase and then search on it. It takes some getting used to. I've recently gotten much better at remembering to stick bookmarks in on my favorite parts, and then use them. That's something I never did with paper books.
Also, eBook format is still all too often the pits. Table of Contents STILL are not always supplied.
But remember there are somethings that are easier and much of it is a learning process. I never used to take notes or highlight much on paper books but I find that not only easier to do on my Kindle, but also easier to then utilize in a meaningful manner once the book is read.
